Abstract:

By focusing on characterizing the mobile traffic, web and information
usage traces based on large-scale and long-duration mobile big data, which
is collected from the commercial mobile operator with more than 10
thousand base stations and 6.5 million users spanning over some months, we
qualitatively visualize and quantitatively characterize the
spatio-temporal human behaviors in the physical-cyber space in terms of
mobility, traffic consumption, social activity, etc. Based on these
fundamental findings and credible models, we further investigate how to
utilize these important insights to deal with problems encountered with
the current mobile networks, urban management, and robust cyber-physical
systems.
